Now television and video games are the villains. I just wish they’d hurry up with video telephony . . give the pessimists something new to worry about. But you know what upsets me about the attacks on video games? It’s the absurdly pessimistic view those attacks take of kids—that kids can’t differentiate between make-believe aggression and real aggression. That view suggests that kids passively absorb the themes in video games, rather than interpreting and learning from them. Every responsible independent study I’ve seen has concluded that kids do a spectacular job of keeping fantasy and reality in perspective.
They are readily borrowed from friends, bought by proxy, stolen, or even rented. On the street, guns can be purchased for as little as $25. The following position paper of the National Association of Secondary School Principals Board on Weapons in Schools outlines the need to control weapons and offers several ways in which educators can work toward that end (Kressly, 1994): Whereas, students have a right to attend school without a fear of weapons’ violence to themselves or others; Whereas, safe schools enhance the learning environment, necessary to quality schools, which are essential to a successful democracy; Whereas, the causes of violence are multiple: chronic poverty, the lack of jobs and role models, the disintegration of families, the loss of moral values, and a popular culture that seems to glorify violence at every turn; Whereas, a major 1993 Louis Harris poll about guns among American youth reports that 1 in 25 students takes a handgun to school in a single month, and 59% know where to get a handgun if they need one; Whereas, violence is exacerbated with the increase of weapons in our schools, resulting in some 31 deaths from guns during the 1992–93 school year; be it therefore known that the National Association of Secondary School Principals: • supports passage of the Brady Bill, which requires a waiting period and background check before legal purchase of a handgun; • urges full enforcement of the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990; • calls on Congress to pass the Safe Schools Act of 1993, with an amendment that will ban the purchase of a handgun and semi-automatic guns for any person under the age of 21; • urges schools to provide staff training for weapons situations arising in school, and to implement student awareness programs which challenge youths’ falsely held beliefs that they are invincible; • challenges schools to implement apprehension, prevention, intervention, and counseling programs to combat possession of weapons and violent acts; • encourages school-based parent involvement programs to include violence prevention strategies that emphasize the issue of easy access to handguns; Violent Children Viewpoints 2/12/04 10:20 AM Page 45 The Availability of Guns Contributes to Violent Behavior 45 • exhorts school districts to establish violence prevention curriculum, grades K–12, and promote articulation among levels to ensure continuity in policies and practices; • challenges Schools of Education to add conflict resolution and violence coping skills to their teacher preparation programs.
